life has become so much better since deciding to consume media with unbridled joy. i don’t care if people think it’s cringe, i don’t care if there are flaws. i can simultaneously acknowledge these faults while loving and consuming media that brings me joy.

First lines in books: boring, no fun, lack of mystery, not depressed at all, blah blah.
First lines in Donna Tartt books: AFTER I WITNESSED 10 MURDERS AND HOOKED UP WITH ALL MY FRIENDS, I DECIDED I HAD A FATAL FLAW AND I WAS TOO DEPRESSED TO GO ON. HENCE, I'LL REREAD THE GREAT GATSBY UNTIL MY EYES FALL AND THEN GET DRUNK AND LIE ON THE GROUND.
Franz Wright, from God's Silence; "East Boston, 1996"
[Text ID: Walking home, for a moment / you almost believe you could start again. / And an intense love rushes to your heart, / and hope. It's unendurable, unendurable.]
“A book is a door, you know. Always and forever. A book is a door into another place and another heart and another world.”
